Shelbyville officials signed off on a $300,000 Tennessee Municipal League bond Tuesday morning for a new replacement pumper for the fire department. By using the bond, the city will be able to save around $18,000 on the 1,500 gallon per minute rescue truck on a commercial chassis. The city's budget allocates $425,000 for the pumper, with $125,000 of funding through the city's general fund, and the rest through the bond, which will benefit Shelbyville's cash flow.

Bids have already been let for the truck and it will take seven to nine months to be built and delivered.
